View SamplesBisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), is a well-known, ubiquitous estrogenic chemical. To investigate the effects of fetal exposure to low-dose BPA on the development of the prostate, we first examined the alterations of in situ sex steroid hormonal environment in the mouse urogenital sinus (UGS).
Endocrine disrupter bisphenol A increases in situ estrogen production in the mouse urogenital sinus.

View SamplesTargeted therapies against cancer stem cells which are enriched in side populations (SP) involves interruption of Wnt-signalling. Furthermore, EpCAM is a SP marker and modulator of Wnt-signalling. Therefore, the effects of an anti-EpCAM treatment on SP-cells and WNT/-catenin signalling was studied.

View SamplesRorb is essential for rod photoreceptor development in the mouse retina. Using Affymetrix mouse GeneChips, we have generated expression profiles of the +/+, Rorb-/- , +/+;CrxpNrl and Rorb-/-;CrxpNrl retina at P14 and P28.
Retinoid-related orphan nuclear receptor RORbeta is an early-acting factor in rod photoreceptor development.

View SamplesThe genetic mechanism governing the spatial patterning of teeth still remains to be elucidated. Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is one of key signaling molecules involved in the spatial patterning of teeth. By utilizing maternal transfer of 5E1 (an IgG1 monoclonal antibody against Shh protein) through the placenta to block Shh signaling, we investigated the changes in tooth patterning and in gene expression.
Interactions between Shh, Sostdc1 and Wnt signaling and a new feedback loop for spatial patterning of the teeth.

View SamplesGene expression profiling was carried out on splenocyte mRNA samples collected from 6 animals subject to repeated social threat and 6 animals subject to non-threatening control conditions (pooled into 3 groups of 2). The primary research question is whether gene expression differs in CD11b+ splenocytes from animals exposed to social threat vs non-threatening control conditions.

View SamplesAberrations in epigenetic processes, such as histone methylation, can lead to cancer. Retinoblastoma Binding Protein 2 (RBP2)(also called JARID1A or KDM5A) can demethylate tri- and di-methylated lysine 4 in histone H3, which are epigenetic marks for transcriptionally active chromatin, whereas the MEN1 tumor suppressor promotes H3K4 methylation. Previous studies suggested that inhibition of RBP2 contributed to tumor suppression by pRB. Here we show RBP2 loss promotes cellular differentiation in vitro. We use mouse expression array 430 2.0 array to profile gene expression patterns of Rbp2f/f and Rbp2-/- ES cells in ES cell medium and after 6 days in ES cell medium without LIF.
